Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that offers new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is composed of 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may impose, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain profit from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own personal e-business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing management software and web site skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the strong demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either receive a ready-for-use website and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own website and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Reselling Webspace Hosting Packages Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to build their web site and require both a domain and a web site hosting package. Certain corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
